Chapter 2 Is This Okay?
"Can this youth film festival also provide opportunities for newcomers to negotiate distribution?"
After listening to Zhang Han's words, Lu Yi swallowed his saliva and asked.
His heart was moved.
In the film and television companies I went to before, no one had seen his film at all, at most he refused after reading the title of the movie, let alone distributing it.
If that youth film festival is really the same as Zhang Han said, maybe his movie really has a chance to be released.
"Of course, but now the registration period has passed, and tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the first Youth Film Festival, and no more applications will be accepted. So you can't participate in this year's film festival, you can only visit, or wait for next year. ”
The registration period for the Youth Film Festival expires one month before the start of the festival, and all kinds of entries will not be accepted after that.
"Uh......"
The idea that had just arisen was strangled to death at once.
Lu Yi looked at Zhang Han a little depressed, not knowing how to express his mood at this time.
This special thing is expired, and I told myself that it was still a fart.
Next year?
At this time next year, my movie won't be able to sell, so I can only go home to farm and make a fart movie!
"I think you can go over and see it first, understand the market and then participate next year, and by the way, it's good to try your luck with a script. Maybe someone will take a fancy to your script and invest in you. Don't talk about it, I still have something to do, I'll get back in touch. ”
Zhang Han glanced at the time, beckoned to Lu Yi, and hurriedly ran to the film company opposite.
He was still at work and couldn't make small talk for too long.
Do you want to try your luck?
After Zhang Han left, his words kept ringing in Lu Yi's mind.
"Let's go and see, if it doesn't work, go home and farm! My family has just bought a few hundred acres of land, and it is the time when we need manpower. ”
After making a decision, Lu Yi went to a nearby Internet café to find a computer, and then searched for information about the Youth Film Festival.
At this time, he realized that he was an independent producer, and if the film he made could not find a place to be distributed, he could actually go to various film festivals and film festivals, and the Youth Film Festival was not the only one.
It's a pity that Lu Yi rarely paid attention to these when he was studying in the past, he didn't know much about the emerging network, and he didn't know how to lead the way, so he would run around like a headless fly.
"it!"
After checking the information, Lu Yi found that he was becoming more and more depressed.
The last film festival in China this year is the Youth Film Festival, and the other film festival times are perfect for him.
There are still several film exhibitions abroad, but Lu Yi has no money to participate, so he can only think of other ways.
September 20, good luck, everything is appropriate.
The first Imperial Capital Youth Film Festival opened as scheduled.
The opening ceremony was held at the Imperial Grand Theater, and the film festival was held in the square in front of the Grand Theater.
Two days ago, it had been set up, with the red carpet stretching from the theater entrance to the roadside.
It seems that this film festival has just been held, but the level is not low.
This film exhibition, co-sponsored by the Imperial Capital Film Academy and the State Film Administration, was destined to be different from the beginning.
Imperial Capital Film Academy is not the kind of unfamous academy that Lu Yi studied, but a big-name, first-class film school in China and even in the world.
More than one-third of the world's filmmakers go out of this school, so the students who come out of this school have a higher starting point than others as soon as they graduate, and they account for half of the number of people employed in the film and television industry.
Needless to say, the State Film Administration, the world's largest film country and the largest film market, has a global influence.
The film festival they jointly held can be imagined.
Although it is only a youth film festival, domestic and foreign film celebrities are still happy to attend, making it the most concerned place in the circle today.
Guardrails were erected on both sides of the carpet, and dense crowds of reporters fought for territory on both sides like ants.
There are experienced people holding up the magnesium lights in their hands and shouting the names of the stars passing by on the red carpet for them to pose.
And those newcomers who have little experience like Lu Yi are all squeezed to the back to eat fart.
Not to mention letting the star pose, it's even difficult to take a photo.
One celebrity after another walked through the red carpet in an orderly manner, reporters called back and forth intermittently, and those movie fans, making the open space in front of the Grand Theater lively.
"It's so sexy to dress up! I wonder if anyone will fall down later?"
Lu Yi can't go inside to watch the opening ceremony, he is not qualified.
At the moment, I can only stand outside, watching from a distance the female star who is more exposed than the other walks across the red carpet.
Especially those little female stars from foreign countries, people can't help but feel a little commotion after watching it.
The imperial capital is the center of the world, whether it is strength or economy, science and technology, literature and art, the country where Lu Yi is located is incomparable to other countries.
Those foreign little stars, all of them sharpened their heads and ran to various film exhibitions in China.
In order to make reporters pay attention to them, it is normal to fall and even show something, which has happened in previous years.
It's just that this film festival seems to be more formal, nothing happened, nothing was seen, which made Lu Yi a little disappointed. Those foreign actresses are all full of expectations, and if they fall, they are still worth watching.
After all the stars entered, the opening ceremony officially began, and the door of the Imperial Capital Grand Theater had become empty, leaving people like Lu Yi who came with a certain purpose wandering.
After the film show, this is followed by professional exchanges, and then there is also a public opening time.
Lu Yi is not qualified for the opening ceremony, and Lu Yi has no works for professional exchanges, so he can't watch it.
So after the opening ceremony began, he could only wander around outside, waiting for the public opening time at the back.
That only requires a ticket of a few dozen dollars, no qualifications, and no work.
"Hello, this is a movie I made, welcome to watch and advise!
After going around the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, Lu Yi finally returned to the main entrance of the film festival.
When a foreigner next to him saw Lu Yi, he immediately stepped forward to stop Lu Yi.
Next to the foreigner is a simple projector and a screen, and a movie is playing on the screen.
"Huh, watch movies for free, and still do this?"
Lu Yi glanced at the movie that was being released, and then looked around, a little puzzled in his heart, it is said that this kind of behavior should not be allowed in this kind of place.
Where have all the bigwigs of the Imperial Capital gone?
Or is there no restriction on these at the film festival here?
"I made this, I want people to see my film, but I can't get inside, but I can be outside, here, for others to see......"
After hearing Lu Yi's words, the foreigner explained with a smile in Mandarin that his pronunciation was not standard.
As the world's largest celestial kingdom, all nations come to the dynasty and compete to follow suit, and it is not surprising that these Fanbang foreigners know how to speak Chinese.
"That's good, I'll see how your movie goes, do you rent the projector and screen?"
Seeing this operation, Lu Yi's eyes lit up.
